questions about health care and the economy. what does that say about president obama's chances of stopping that momentum that is building for romney? >> i think it's a couple of things. one, the president has enjoyed the edge in likability. all along and i think he continued that edge last night. whatever the fra discuss between the two of them romney seems more the bully if you will than obama. they both were in each other's face but romney more so. that's likability. but the other side is look, the president has to tell us not only what he's done, where he's taking us. he's our shepherd, our guide. and both he and romney have put ideas out there, romney's got a plan, fla the president says is flawed but the president only talks about what he has done and he hasn't talked enough about what he needs to do. where he's going to take us. that is why people said we're not sure where he is when it comes to the economy. >> well, aside from the fact they seemed like they were in each other's personal space the

debate is going to be remembered by the quote the binder full of women and the confrontation over libya. the next debate is on foreign policy. whose expertise does that play to and really, do americans care so much about libya when they worry about jobs. >> i think two strands here. it will be very interesting, each of them handles both of these. one has to do with jobs, yes, to the extent we can affect trade, that we can stop other countries from abusing us when it comes to subsidizing products, those kind of issues, china, other countries, that il with be important. trade gets the jobs. the other foreign policy angle has to do with terrorism and national security. again we saw a little bit of that when it comes to libya. of course it's more than libya. is the country safer today than it was four years ago. just the counterpart to is this country better off economically.

i think the president will probably be able to make the claim that the sun is safer today and mitt romney is going to work hard on the trade angle so. there is going to be an opportunity for both to get in each other's face again when it comes to foreign policy. this third debate because of the first two will be by far the most important not only because of something after tie-breaker but it will be just days before the election. >> true. we'll bring it to you. thank you, larry. >> students and officials at san francisco city college are crossing fingers. the future of the school could be determined by the election. san francisco city is trying to keep its doors open after a college board threatened to strip the financially troubled school of accreditation. the school has until march to turn things around. prop a on the ballot would raise $14 million for the school through a parcel tax. the school could lose $11 million in funding if the prop 30 tax measure fails to pass. >> when you have to start making cuts at a community college

that's where we'll begin. so far no controversial flies but mother nature is not cooperating with baseball fans. we have a rain delay in st. louis, and get this t giants are down 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning. matt cain was on the mound before the rain delay. he has given up three runs and six hits, a two-run home run, to matt carpenter who is 5 for 5 against cain. the giants scored on a groundout in the third, play is projected to resume at 7:05 our time, the tarp is coming off right now. by the way, a storm also delayed game 4 of the alcs between the tigers and yankees before the game even started. how about football for you. this is what's going on, manningham listed as questionable for tomorrow against the seattle seahawks. also, joe sale might have to miss out. he suffered a concussion against the giants on sunday.

however, he says he is ready to play but that won't take place unless he is cleared by a doctor. >> jed york, get this, taking fan appreciation to a new level on monday afternoon, the 49ers' ceo stopped by to say hello to the resident and offer them tickets to the game. york said he passes by the place all the time and admired the 49ers flag hanging outside their house. so hang that flag if you're a 9ers fan. the 1-4 raiders have a chance to turn their season around in the next three games. the opponents have a combined record of 4-12. after almost beating the falcons the team feels poised for a comeback. kate has more from raiders headquarters. >> there were no moral victories in the raiders' loss to atlanta, making sunday's match-up against jacksonville that much more significant. >> i hate losing more than i like winning.

>> i thought i ran the ball pretty good. like the running game. >> it's a must win game for us. we had a chance, coach had a chance to put all of the standings in the records and show us where we stand. we got to play good football. we got a chance to play in front of our fans. feels like it's been a while with last week and the bye but it's a must win for us. it's an opportunity to start climbing our way back into this race. >> after a 5-month absence aaron curry was back with the raiders. coach said the linebacker looked good but as to where he fits in with the future of the team allen said it's all about how curry's knees respond this week. kate longworth, nbc long area news. >> thank you, kate. by the way, the raiders may not
